400 Amp Service Upgrade and 28KW Generac Generator Installation

Power outages don't give you a warning. One storm, one grid failure, and suddenly you're without lights, AC, refrigeration - everything. That's exactly the problem this property owner wanted to solve, and we took care of it the right way.

We started with a full 400 amp service upgrade. That's not something every home needs, but when you're adding a 28KW standby generator to the mix, you want the electrical infrastructure to support it properly. Skipping that step creates headaches down the road. We don't cut corners like that.

The dual Generac transfer switch setup you see mounted on the exterior wall is the brain of the whole system. It's what allows the generator to kick on automatically the moment utility power drops. No manual intervention, no fumbling around in the dark. The wiring inside those panels is organized and deliberate - every conductor landed cleanly and routed with purpose.

The Generac 28KW unit itself is set on a proper pad outside, connected and ready to run. At that output level, this property is covered - not just a few circuits, but whole-home backup power. That's the kind of capacity that keeps everything running: HVAC, appliances, security systems, all of it.

A job like this involves coordination between the electrical service upgrade, the transfer switch wiring, and the generator hookup. It's not a one-trade, one-afternoon install. Getting it done cleanly and safely is what separates a setup that holds up long-term from one that causes problems. This one was done right.
